«I make them stay with me, every day by my side, we will find something to do. I don’t accept this “not happy” speech and I will never accept it.”
Conte and De Laurentiis confirmed that both Di Lorenzo and Kvara will remain in Naples. Without ifs and buts. However, a doubt is legitimate. It’s right to keep disgruntled players in the squad who can become burdens for the team. Conte has no doubts about this. The new Napoli coach does not accept the expression “dissatisfied players”, Napoli must become a destination and not a passing team.
Conte: «I hope that Napoli is seen not as a passing team, but as a destination»
Conte’s name alone had the effect of pacifying an environment in turmoil. But what do you do with those who don’t want to stay?
«I also hope that it can change, that Napoli is seen not as a passing team, but as a destination. Otherwise we continue to have speech after speech. The footballer must come to Naples because he knows that he will fight for something big every year. He must feel responsible, if every year someone gets a stomach ache, if someone isn’t happy then he stays with me, every day at my side. I’ll tell him two things, maybe I’ll get some help. I don’t accept this “not happy” speech and I will never accept it. If someone is not happy, I put them at my side. We will both find something to do to have fun».
De Laurentiis: «Di Lorenzo? Let’s hope that with this European Championship, after Italy’s lucky draw, serenity returns»
The presentation of Antonio Conte as the new coach of Napoli takes place at Palazzo Reale. During the presentation conference, President De Laurentiis spoke about the Di Lorenzo and Kvara cases (effectively closing them and guaranteeing their permanence).
«It was clear that he was referring to two subjects: Kvara and Di Lorenzo. Di Lorenzo is an extraordinary player, an extraordinary man of great level. I can understand that he has been annoyed in the last few games, like all of us. He probably felt abandoned for a moment. I explained to him that it was not possible to abandon someone like him. However, the players are very young guys, very often they are loaded and other times they can be unloaded. Let’s hope that with this European Championship, after the lucky draw, a certain serenity will return. For Kvara there are no problems.
I’ll sit down with Manna and the guy and his agent. We will make him a proposal for a contractual change, I don’t see any problems for him. Then you can say what you want, there are those who make contacts and offers to players without authorization from their clubs. Then he can be called to order, also because the president of the ECA is also in that club… (Clear reference to Al Khalaifi, president of PSG). In my 75 years I am no longer surprised by those who are incorrect, I always try to be correct».
